That's really not a good idea.  It completly messes up the CVS history, as you
would no longer be able to tell when a line of code was written.  You also get
this huge commit in CVS that's twice as big as the entire source code.  indent
is also not perfect, sometimes programmers have carefully spaced tables or
comments so that they line up and then indent messes that up.
